The military and strategic expert, Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, considered the targeting by a helicopter of the Al-Qassam Brigades - the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) - of an Israeli command headquarters east of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip, as evidence of the presence of resistance activity in the region, which refutes the occupation’s allegations.
The military and strategic expert, Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, believed that the targeting of the Al-Qassam Brigades - the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) - by an Israeli helicopter east of Beit Hanoun (northern Gaza Strip) is evidence of the presence of resistance activity in the region, which refutes the occupation’s allegations.
During his analysis for Al Jazeera, Al-Duwairi said that the Qassam operation targeted an area that had been previously combed and contains an advanced command headquarters for the occupation army. It is considered a soft area and close to the Gaza envelope area.
He explained that the Qassam helicopter is similar to the Israeli "Quad Capture" drone, and is designed to drop bombs against heavy targets (tanks) or individuals, so that they can be directed and launched from anywhere.
He pointed out that the helicopter is a small reconnaissance and attack drone, consisting of 6 propellers, and is launched over the targeting area, and operates in free drop, and was used in this operation at night.
The strategic expert confirmed that it is not known if the operation was an isolated case or otherwise, nor is it known how many helicopters are being used, but he indicated that the occupation will review how to deal with them if such operations are repeated over close periods of time.
Al-Duwairi indicated that the occupation may deal with Qassam helicopters through cyber solutions to confront them by detecting and neutralizing them, pointing out that these drones were used extensively in the “Al-Aqsa Flood” attack, and were considered part of the occupation’s bank of surprises, along with parachute landings.
He concluded that this operation confirms the continuation of resistance in the northern sector, and refutes the occupation’s claims since the start of the third phase of the war in that region, as 3 major operations have taken place since that announcement.
Al-Duwairi refers in this to the occupation army’s operation east of Gaza, which targeted the Al-Tuffah and Al-Daraj neighborhoods and areas close to them (12 days), and the entry into the neighborhoods of Sheikh Ajlin, Tal Al-Hawa, Al-Nasr, and the University Square southwest of Gaza (13 days), leading to the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood operation east of Gaza (5 days). days).
